Mary has gifted us with 2 of the best dogs ever. We received our first Ridgie from her 9.5 years ago, and our second just 2 months ago. Both dogs are beautiful, sweet tempered, and healthy dogs. She breeds to the breed standard, while also taking great care to raise pups that will be wonderful in family homes. We received our first dog from her when our kids were young, and he has been so sweet over the years with them, their friends, and every person he meets, as well as other dogs. Our little one is showing himself to have a similar sweet temperament. I have been extremely impressed in both breeding experiences with how much time and care Mary puts into her litters. From the moment they are born until they come home with you, she is doing SO much to begin to socialize  them, potty train them, get them adjusted to a kennel, and have them handled safely by a variety of people. She is fantastic in her communication, regularly providing updates on the litter through videos and photos. Her involvement does not end when they come home either. She remains available to answer any questions and to offer advice, and is always prompt with her replies. We deeply respect Mary as a breeder and as a person. If you are lucky enough to get the opportunity to bring one of her dogs home, you should not miss it!
